 When Chris Evert did an odd job for Greg Norman

Chris Evert made headlines when she married golfer Greg Norman in 2008. Both have spent time as top players in their field and are adored by fans worldwide. The term ‘power couple’ seems appropriate for the two. However, what still surprises followers of the two is how Norman convinced Evert to caddie for him.

In 2009, Norman made a surprise appearance in the Masters Par-3 contest, which is reserved for previous champions and amateurs. Evert was apprehensive about doing the job at first but reconsidered since her husband told her he needed her with him.
